They are nervously discussing the issue of war, the pros and cons of the commercial tax on the left, the household registration on the right, and the pros and cons of the existing business registration, and the back is even more ruthless, how much grain can a small grain merchant in Guanyang sell every year, how the merchants can sell for profit under the existing tax system, and so on.

If it weren't for the palace examination site, they would still be interested in discussing with Yan Junqi, but they are answering questions! Some people who are not firm in their hearts have accidentally written the tax system on the paper, and people are stunned and think, should they cross out or not?

The other group wanted to plug their ears very much, and they were afraid that they would lose their honor in front of the palace, after all, it was not only Yan Junqi who was talking, but also their majesty.

Subsequently, Emperor Hong'an asked more and more questions, and Yan Junqi's answer became more and more difficult, not only him, but even other candidates couldn't help but stop writing and ponder.

Answering the questionnaire, they can still go around in circles, and when they are asked aggressively by Emperor Hong'an, they have no chance to talk about theories at all.

When Emperor Hong'an's question was no longer limited to the field that Yan Junqi understood, but expanded to the entire Daqi, involving all aspects of the agricultural, commercial, military, and industrial government decrees, Yan Junqi had no choice but to answer: "The minister doesn't know." ”

The decrees and official documents he had studied hard for nearly a month were not enough for him to understand the entire Daqi in a short period of time, and it was the end of what he had learned, known and thought until now, and besides, it was speculation and nonsense.

"I don't know? Very well, if you don't know, you don't know, I ask you one you should know. Do you know Qu An's "Treatise on the Six Beijings"? ”

“…… Know. ”

"Listen to it on your back."

“…… Be. ”

Candidates: "......"

Qu An's "Treatise on the Six Beijings"?

Is it the long poem that Qu Ge Lao was relegated to his hometown and wrote for three months in tears?

Is it the long poem that can be published in a single book?

Isn't that the recognized black history of Qu An's life, which is stinky and long?

Who will watch!

Yan Junqi memorized it for a quarter of an hour, and before he had finished reciting a quarter, he stopped and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has only read here, and the rest will not be." ”

Emperor Hong'an laughed and asked, "Does anyone will?" ”

Yan Junqi was also curious, he only read a quarter of the obsessive-compulsive disorder that he must have read like this, and whether anyone had finished reading the "Treatise on the Six Beijings".

There was a long silence, and no one answered.

Of the top three in the Hong'an Emperor's test, only the first place can barely put a few words on his back, and the other two only know a few words of emotion from Qu An at the end.

Emperor Hong'an nodded, picked up Yan Junqi's scroll and read it carefully, and praised: "Qing has the talent of the champion." ”

All the candidates' hearts suddenly stopped, is this the main point?

Unexpectedly, after Emperor Hong'an put down the scroll, he said: "There is also the appearance of Tanhua, it is better for me to seal you...... Let's pass it on. ”

Fan Xiao: "......"

Everyone present: "......"

The talent of the champion, the appearance of the flowers, the seal of the legend?

The Ziwei Hall was silent, and the needles could be heard.

Emperor Hong'an looked at Yan Junqi quietly with his hands in his hands.

Yan Junqi was stunned on the spot.

Shocked, surprised, disappointed?

Yan Junqi was the first to come back to his senses, hide all his emotions, and bow down to thank him.

"Get up." Emperor Hong'an returned his scroll, talked with Taishi He with great interest about his personal inheritance, and continued to patrol the field to test talents.

Yan Junqi stared at the half-answered paper, a little dazed.

The ranking has been set, does he still have to answer?

Fan Xiao passed by him, lightly tapped his desk, and said in a low voice, "Continue answering questions." ”

Yan Junqi hurriedly thanked him, re-laid the paper, used the grinding time to sort out his emotions, and continued to answer the questions.

Subsequently, Emperor Hong'an took the top four in the examination, asked the back ones, and asked people from the middle and back rows, but it was not as difficult as when he asked Yan Junqi.

Emperor Hong'an was in a good mood and ordered the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua, these three were the first, second and seventh respectively.

The third became the second in the second class, one place behind Yan Junqi.

He was a little lost and didn't dare to show it, but he didn't cover it up very well.

However, the first few people all finished answering the questions, only Yan Junqi was called up to ask questions halfway, and the answer was delayed, and when the champion was ordered, he was still answering the question in Ziwei Palace.

Approaching noon, he was the only one left in the first three rows, Yan Junqi was not in a hurry, his ranking had been decided, and he slowly answered the questions neatly.

Before noon, he handed in the papers, and Emperor Hong'an and Fan Xiao had already left, leaving only Taishi He and a few other examiners remaining.

After the top 10, there is also the ranking of the top three, which will be completed by them in the afternoon.

The highlight of this year's palace examination was completed early in the morning and ended early.

Tomorrow is the official announcement of the results, but candidates who already know their rankings can already go back to celebrate.

Yan Junqi followed the inner attendant who led the way out of the Ziwei Palace, and then out of the palace gate, Lu Xu and Lu Zhou had been waiting for him outside the palace for a long time.

"How?!" Lu Xu came up to pick him up.

There were already dozens of people out in front, some were jubilant, some were depressed, Yan Junqi didn't come out for a long time, and Lu Xu didn't know if he was good or bad in the exam.

Yan Junqi: "The emperor ordered me to be a messenger." ”

Lu Xu was at a loss for a moment: "Chuanyu? ”

Lu Zhou: "The first place in the second class? ”

Yan Junqi nodded.

"The first place in the second class?" Lu Xu reacted for a while, and said in surprise: "Isn't that the fourth in the country?" Junqi, you've improved one place again! ”

Yan Junqi was stunned, and the grievances he endured in the hall dissipated, and he smiled with tears in his eyes: "Well, I entered one." ”

Chapter 207: Jinshi

At the end of the palace examination in the afternoon, Taishi He and other examiners showed the second and third class rankings to Emperor Hong'an, and the attendants sent to send the candidates out of the palace also returned to the palace.

Emperor Hong'an asked about the reactions of the candidates, and the attendants picked up the scenes of people laughing and crying outside the palace gate and answered them one by one, not missing the top three.

"He Zhuangyuan left the palace and went to the Taishi Mansion."

Emperor Hong'an nodded after hearing this, "Well, I should go to see you because of the reason, then the master, I won't keep you, go back to entertain relatives." ”

He Taishi Wan'er, but he didn't take it seriously, and slowly continued to open the next page of the roster for Emperor Hong'an, waiting for him to finish his approval.

Emperor Hong'an asked: "What about Tanhua and Bangyan, did you also go to thank the teacher?" ”

Seeing that he was in good spirits, the chamberlain replied, "Exactly, many students have gone to thank the teacher." ”

Emperor Hong'an snorted, "Song Zhi is a relative of the Taishi, and when he was young, he read books in front of Chengye for several years, and was assigned by the Taishi, so it is natural and reasonable for him to go to the apprenticeship, those who come from outside Beijing, who to go to apprentice?" The teacher they worship, or the backer? ”

The chamberlain didn't dare to reply.

Fan Xiaodao: "This is not the case in any year, when I arrive in a new place, I naturally want to find a fellow villager to dial it, human nature." ”

Emperor Hong'an snorted and acquiesced to his statement.

The chamberlain secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Hong'an remembered the message he ordered again, "What about Yan Chuanyu?" Who are you going to meet? ”

They don't have any high-ranking officials in Longxing County.

Waiter: "Yan Chuanyu didn't go anywhere else, and was picked up by the coachman and scholar at home." ”

Emperor Hong'an asked, "Oh, how did he go?" ”

The waiter was at a loss, and said in his heart that he could still go, take the car!

He was very impressed, among all the frames that picked up people at the palace gate, Yan Chuanlu's house was a mule cart.

Although there is a shortage of horses in Daqi now, no one in the official palace in Beijing uses mule carts!

People either use horses or people to carry them, and no matter how bad they are, they will walk, find a secluded place to sit in an ox cart, how can there be such a family like Yan Chuanyun, who will lead the mule cart to the gate of the palace with a big grin?

He was about to answer that he would take a mule cart away, when he suddenly heard Fan Xiao say: "You said that people have the talent of the champion and the appearance of exploring flowers, and then ask him to be a messenger, and it is not strange to cry and leave." ”

The waiter suddenly, this means!

The little chamberlain thought to himself, no wonder the imperial city said that the general was good, and he had been relieved of the siege twice for him just a while.

Moreover, Yan Chuanlu is not here, he is also speaking for Yan Chuanyun.

He is the emperor's personal heir, even if he is lost, he should not show a little dissatisfaction.

But he is one step away from the champion, Emperor Hong'an also said that, loss is inevitable, if he loses his temper at the palace gate, it will make Emperor Hong'an unhappy, Fan Xiao is probably afraid that he is young and does not know the severity, so he will relieve him early.

With the foreshadowing of this sentence, Yan Chuanyu is just crying at the palace gate, and it's okay.

The waiter thought about it and said with a smile: "Yan Chuanyu didn't cry, he went back happily." ”

"Happy?"

Now Fan Xiao is a little confused, the talent of the champion, he can only pass on the favor, and he is still happy?

Emperor Hong'an: "How is he happy?" ”

"Uh......" The waiter recalled carefully, remembering the words between Yan Chuanlu and his "coachman", and stammered and repeated: "His scholar said that Chuanlu was the fourth, and the coachman said that Yan Chuanlu was one more advanced than the Huitry, and he also said ......"

"What else?"

The little chamberlain gritted his teeth and repeated Lu Xu's crooked arguments: "He also said that in important exams and competitions, the top three are all determined, and the fourth is the first, Your Majesty must appreciate him very much." ”

Emperor Hong'an: "......"

Fan Xiao: "......"

He Taishi raised his eyebrows.

I have to say, to some extent, the coachman is the truth. Before the start of the exam, Emperor Hong'an had already decided that the first class must come from the Gaomen, in order to appease the noble clans who had been suppressed by him over the years and had deep grievances.

During the palace examination, he blurted out what kind of talent he was a champion and the appearance of flowers, which also made Fan Xiao and Taishi He worried.
